THE CAMPUS CHAT extend** greetings to you. Its staff
hope# that you art" comfortably located, that your clanaea
art' from seven to eleven-thirty, that you have a good
place to eat, thai many of your friends art' here, and that you
have a thoroughly pleasant summer.
We shall try to make the paper an accurate journal of the
event* that happen. We shall try to write it in such a way that
it will be interesting ami entertaining We shall attempt to
represent the entire student body.
You can cooperate with us by reading your CHAT ami by
submitting items to the office.
You are in a good college, among friendly people who have
common interests. There are many fields of knowledge that
offer numerous opportunities- The College has taken great pains
to make available various amusements, i'hese have all been con-
sciously done with the student in mind.
Given a good frame of mind there is no reason why this
summer will not be profitable and enjoyable to you and to us.
Lt N1VERS1T1ES AND COLLEGES must release them-
I selves from hallowed grounds and break down the
walls between them and the streets of the world. . . The
future of the world rests in the busy mart* of business, in the
noisy rooms of factories, in the science of labor-saving produc-
tion- The minds of men are soothed or made mad b> their physi-
cal well-being; and so the study of modern industrialism, with
its attendant influence upon men's ideas and actions, must draw
the attention of academic study.
Not only must these universities pass on their knowledge
to the "adults in leadership;" they must stimulate the whole
mass of citizens. Failing to do this, they fail as significant in-
stitutions. Passion for the truth, of the degrees to which knowl-
edge may be applied for the social good, is necessary if the es-
sence of democracy is to be retained. The universities and col-
leges must expand into the lives of citizens, through educational
series, through radio education, through wide publicity about
the results of its research, and by becoming "centers >f stimula-
tion" for the students who are a part of its regular community.
Education must serve as aid to lietterinn the concrete relation-
ships of men.

To begin thix thing and appropri-
ately it in necessary to say that every
one is glad to ln> here. It is also nec-
essary to say that you are welcome
and all that. Hut those welcomes come
from the bottom of our hearts. We
mean them.
Many of you will lie inc mvenienced
very much for the small amount of
education that you will reap this
siimmei You will have to >it in some
rather warm class rooms. You will
have a hard time uettinu sleep when
everyone in the house is trying to
make all the noise that lie can There
will lie a thousand othei things that
will make your life *eem a little hard.
But cheer up!
Think nf those poor professors
who will lie giving you youi money's
worth On top of a tremendous salary
cut for the summer sessions, they
have to stand there by the hour look-
ing at all those homely faces. That's
enough to make anyone want to work
on a farm before becoming a teacher.
A college professor was heard to
remark "! certainly envy that stu-
dent She got paid <lou a month all
winter. A ml mi the first of every
month." Hut. professor, -lie directed
the P.-J.A, taught Sunday school,
sang in the choir, directed the dram-
atic Club, sponsored the junior class,
coached the girls' ba-ketball team,
kept the detention hall, was librarian,
kept three study halls, and supervised
the affiliation of ping-pong in the
school.
ONE'S CRITICAL FACULTY alone does not drive the world
forward The vitalizing force is the power of imagination.
The two are not contradictory but complementary . . • .
Imagination does not mean the ability to see fantastic fig-
ure* in clouds, divorced from reality. It means the power of
discovering new relationships between facts, to find new threads
of unity tying together the minutiae of experience. Great men
have this faculty in an extraordinary degree . . .
It is said that experience tends to dull imagination. Imagi-
nation therefore must be cultivated early in life. For this reason
it is the business of teachers to stimulate imagination, not
merely to hand out information It is your (the students) bus-
iness to strive constantly to find new combinations of ideas in
the suggestions which you receive from your teachers and text-
books. When you begin to do this, study ceases to be a dull
task • . . and becomes an enriching search for wisdom.
—THE DAILY PR1NCET0NIAN.
TRUE CYNICISM, according to Abbe Ernest Dimnet, author
of the "Art of Thinking" and other philosophical works, is
nerely self-confidence, slightly tainted by conceit or by the
conviction that no one is better than one's self. Collegiate cyni-
cism. on the other hand, is usually nothing more than an affected
blase attitude mixed with a forced pessimism. In outside circles
it is of no avail in attaining success, but on the campus it becomes
a halo over the youthful cynic's head, a mark of distinction among
students who are carefree, indolent, and prosaicly earnest.
The collegiate man-of-the-world is a common sight- He
is usually found haunting beer gardens or coke parlors, where
he sits dully for hours, peering up sourly through cigaret smoke
at passersby. in classes he listens sullenly, showing boredom,
and usually pretending to lie partially asleep. He prides himself
on his record of cuts, flunks, and arguments with professions. If
possible, he dresses meticulously with taste bordering on the bi-
zarre. In short, he is n ♦horoughly experienced lad who has tasted
everything that life has to offer and decided that is hardly worth
living.
But circumstances change with graduation—if he gets that
far. Away from the sheltered life of the campus he finds that a
man must produce in order to share, that one must fight for things
worth while He discovers thaf employers have a hearty con-
tempt for people who are too proud to work there are too many
others who are willing. MICHIGAN STATE NEWS

There is something very exciting
about buying a book It seems such
a luxurious extravagance If one buys
an unfamiliai book, one is very ap-
prehensive. If the book is good, bet-
ter than you expected, there is no
better feeling of --el('-satisfaction If
the book is bad, one's self-reproach
is never so bitter except when the
horse you bet on the nose is left at
the post.

To buy a book that one has long
wanted, in one burst of prodigality to
thrust out the money, and to carry
it off without waiting for it to be
wrapped 'hose are moments of con-

Laemmle Jr. A I'niversal Picture.
The strangest pair of lovers in the
history of the screen are seen in 'The
Bride of Frankenstein," the wierdly
thrilling U. drama now showing in
first run houses across the continent.
For this grotesque man and woman
are unnatural creatures built up from
parts of dead bodies human beings,
undoubtedly, but in reality grisly
products of the graveyard! Burial
crypts are robbed by a fanatical pair
of half mad scientists, crazed by their
terrible experiments in actually cre-
ating life
The scene in which the monsl.-.'s
mate is brought to life is said to be
one of awful fascination the very
epitome of maniacal dreaming
When the Monster Woman is low
ered to the floor of the laboratory,
and the trembling scientists swiftly
unwrap the bandages in which she
is encased, a linger moves, and she
opens her great staring eyes. The
Monster Woman is alive.
The climax which follows is on a
high note that leaves the audience
shaking and gasping. K. L.
